Integrating visual features has been proven effective for deep learning-based speech quality enhancement, particularly in highly noisy environments. However, these models may suffer from redundant information, resulting in performance deterioration w...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that can result in a progressive loss of speech due to bulbar dysfunction, which can have significant negative impact on the patient's mental well-being. Alternative Augmentative Comm...
Extracting behavioral information from animal sounds has long been a focus of research in bioacoustics, as sound-derived data are crucial for understanding animal behavior and environmental interactions. Traditional methods, which involve manual revi...
Deep learning (DL) techniques are becoming more popular for diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) because they offer non-invasive and easily accessible tools. By using advanced data analysis, these methods improve early detection and diagnosis, which i...
OBJECTIVES: Post-discharge follow-up stands as a critical component of post-diagnosis management, and the constraints of healthcare resources impede comprehensive manual follow-up. However, patients are less cooperative with AI follow-up calls or may...
Social robots are being developed as a technological solution to alleviate older adults' loneliness due to separation from their offspring. This study explores how and why offspring-like voices affect older adults' acceptance of social robots from an...
